Tom Bradley International Terminal (Terminal B)

Lost Los Angeles is a site-sensitive installation based off the international project "Urban Geode". In her work, Paige Smith draws inspiration from quiet, modest, tucked away spaces: the cracks in between bricks, the inside of a pipe, and interior of a derelict phone booth. Geodes are formations made and found in nature and the fact that Smith fabricates this process out of man-made materials and places them in major cities concurrently signals the tension between nature and industry and celebrates the beauty of urban space. Her work is infused with a magical realism that encourages us to pause, to discover, to be present and to find beauty in the mundane. Lost Los Angeles is an excavation site revealing geode growth inside the walls of the Los Angeles Airport.
